TLDR
The ability of employing zeta potential to target drug delivery systems to, and drug release at specific sites of the body are discussed.Abstract:
The zeta potential (ZP) of colloidal systems and nano-medicines, as well as their particle size exert a major effect on the various properties of nano-drug delivery systems. Not only the stability of dosage forms and their release rate are affected but also their circulation in the blood stream and absorption into body membranes are dramatically altered by ZP. In this paper the effect of ZP on the various properties of nano-medicines are reviewed. Furthermore, the ability of employing zeta potential to target drug delivery systems to, and drug release at specific sites of the body are discussed.read more

TL;DR: Liposomal formulations are less toxic than drugs alone and have better pharmacological parameters, although they seem to be the first choice for drug delivery systems for various diseases, further research about dosage regimen regarding dose and time needs to be carried out.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of different characterization techniques for polymeric micelles is presented, from the ones used for the determination of micells basic characteristics (critical micellar concentration, size, surface charge, morphology) to the more complex approaches used to figure out micellers kinetic stability, drug release and behavior in the presence of biological substrates (fluids, cells and tissues).

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that grape skin and grape seed extracts increase the inhibition effect on Aβ aggregation, and solid lipid nanoparticles functionalized with an antibody, the anti-transferrin receptor monoclonal antibody (OX26 mAb), can work as a possible carrier to transport the extract to target the brain.

Zeta potential: a case study of cationic, anionic, and neutral liposomes.
TL;DR: A strong linear relationship was noted between zeta potential values and the mole percentage of charged lipids within a liposome (e.g., cationic DOTAP or anionic DOPS), which could be used to formulate similar liposomes to a specific zeta Potential, potentially of importance for systems sensitive to highly charged species.
